lrs 30,
If you haven't already, spend some time on the site ecta-lsr.com [link is on the left of this site's home page]. Lot of information there that will give you a good heads-up start on your trip to Maxton.
If you have the time, a Friday arrival can be very informative, meet set up going on, early arrival entrants getting vehicles tech'd, and usually a rather relaxed pace. Good time to ask questions, gather information, and take pictures of any safety and performance ideas/features you may be required or want to incorporate into a build of your own. Saturday can get busy, everyone wants to have fun at once, weather permitting that is when most runs are made. Sunday activity tends to taper off with many of the longer haul entrants opting to leave early in order to be back at work Mon AM.
One word of warning - this can get addictive fast!
Hope you have a good time and a safe trip.
